About the coin (primary summary)

• What the coin is: WAM Coin (ticker likely WAM)
• Mining algorithm: RandomX
• CPU-only or not: CPU mining is supported (RandomX makes CPU mining competitive); not stated that the coin is CPU‑only
• Brief description: WAM Coin is a fork of Bitcoin Core v28.1 with a hard cap of 22 000 000 coins, 2‑minute blocks, and an initial subsidy of 50 WAM. It uses RandomX PoW, DarkGravityWave v3 difficulty adjustment algorithm (recalculated each block), a 5 % treasury withdrawal until block 400 000, and a founders' reserved fund of 2 000 000 WAM, unlocked at 20 % per year until 2030 (founder + treasury = 12.5 % of emission). Testnet is already launched with two seed nodes (France, Singapore); a preliminary release is ready on GitHub (≈11 MB, requires libevent and libsqlite3).

2026-08-21 00:13 UTC — 3 new posts

• Main topic of new posts: Clarification of a previously made statement about negotiations with exchanges; admission of error and lack of real agreements for listing WAM Coin before mainnet launch.
• Key news/updates:
• Founder Waleed Al80 admitted that in the previous post he mistakenly listed XeggeX, TradeOgre and NonKYC as contacted platforms; in reality inquiries were sent to Komodo Wallet, BasicSwap DEX, Bisq, Maya Protocol, Haveno and Block DX.
• No agreements, accepted applications, or listing timelines exist; promises of trading infrastructure and liquidity from day one are not confirmed.
• Technical features of the coin (RandomX, DGW v3, 22 M cap, treasury withdrawal, etc.) remain unchanged and verifiable.
• Mainnet launch is still scheduled for September 15, 2026.
• Problems/complaints:
• Participant visibleplayer accused the project of fraud (“Dumb scammer”), pointing to false information about listings and lack of real market value.
• No price, no ability to buy or sell WAM before mining; the coin currently has no market value and may never be listed.
• Overall tone: negative/skeptical – the community doubts the credibility of the statements and sees a risk of fraud.

• Main topic of new posts: The author of WAM Coin urges the community to test the testnet, review the code, and prepare for a mandatory update before the mainnet launch on September 15, 2026.
• Key news/updates:
• Testnet launched on August 20, with two independent nodes (Europe and North America) joining; the stratum pool pays every 10 minutes on port 3336, and two Electrum servers are running.
• Release v0.1.5 – mandatory update before mainnet; nodes running older versions (v0.1.4 and earlier) will refuse valid blocks on mainnet and will end up on an isolated chain without errors.
• Two real vulnerabilities were found in the consensus code (unauthenticated Redis access and a race condition in share accounting); both have been fixed, and the changes are published in the repository.
• A bug bounty was announced for auditing the consensus changes (link in SECURITY.md).
• Scripts for checking supply, applying patches, and cleaning are provided (verify_supply.py, patch_upstream.py, sweep.sh).
• Binary files v0.1.3 and v0.1.4 were deliberately removed; users are advised to replace them with v0.1.5.
• Problems/complaints: No explicit complaints; it is noted that testnet coins have no real value and have already been discarded, and that the consensus audit was unpaid.
• Overall tone: neutral‑call‑to‑action – emphasis on the need for community testing and assistance, without hype around price or profit promises.

2026-08-29 00:12 UTC — 2 new posts

• Main topic of new posts: Release of miner version v0.1.6, fixing the “silent” pool issue, and registration of WAM Coin in the SLIP‑0044/SLIP‑0173 standards.
• Key news/updates:
• v0.1.6: the miner now treats a connection as dead after 10 minutes of complete silence from the pool and automatically reconnects; consensus has not changed, nodes v0.1.5 and v0.1.6 remain compatible.
• WAM Coin received coin type 5718349 (SLIP‑0044) and bech32 prefixes wam, twam, wamrt (SLIP‑0173), recorded in the SatoshiLabs registry, eliminating collisions with other projects.
• Problems/complaints:
• In the previous miner version the client could stay on a “half‑open” TCP connection, continuing to work on an outdated job for hours without any failure indicator; the issue was only discovered indirectly (a fan that stopped).
• Overall tone: neutral‑positive – a critical bug was fixed and official recognition obtained via SLIP registration, without negative project assessments.

2026-09-09 00:11 UTC — 1 new post

Main topic of new posts:

Release of WAM Coin v0.1.7, adding built‑in fixed seed nodes and correcting misleading strings in the CLI interface; the update is optional and does not change consensus rules.

Key news/updates:

• Fixed seed nodes are compiled into the binary, allowing new nodes to find the network even if DNS is unavailable or spoofed.
• 37 lines in eleven files (including wam‑cli) that previously suggested running bitcoind and displayed bitcoin‑cli help have been corrected to refer only to WAM Coin.
• The update is not mandatory: nodes running v0.1.6 continue to validate the same blocks and connect to the same peers.
• It is noted that the change does not affect testnet hash rate.

Problems/complaints:

• The post explicitly states that the hash rate is not fixed by this update; no other complaints are expressed.

Overall tone:

Neutral‑informative, with a slight positive emphasis on increased resilience to DNS spoofing.

Summary of new posts about WAM Coin

Main topic of new posts

WAM Coin announced mainnet launch, published current network statistics, and fixed several technical issues related to the mining pool and wallet distribution. The author also responded to project criticism and detailed the bugs that were fixed.

Key news/updates

• Mainnet launch: WAM mainnet has been running for 12 hours, network hash rate 384 kH/s, blocks generated roughly every ~2 minutes.
• Pool issue fixes:
• Pool fee: the pool now takes 0 % fee (previously operators profited from miners).
• Share‑threshold bug: the difficulty‑share threshold was calculated with the same formula as the ceiling, causing all miners to get stuck at a single price point. Fixed — miners that produce 3 shares in 8 hours now receive 6 shares in the first half‑minute after restart.
• Concentration analysis: previously one miner controlled 79.2 % of the last 48 blocks (now reduced to 6 miners). This was due to a single operator creating a solo‑mining pool.

Problems/complaints

• Before fixes: error in difficulty‑threshold calculation — all miners waited hours for one share because the same rule was used for both minimum and ceiling.

Main topic of new posts:

Discussion of the current state of WAM Coin mining after mainnet launch: hash‑rate concentration in the largest pool, published reward distribution metrics, and release of client v0.1.9.

Key news/updates:

• Mainnet launched 2026‑09‑15; at height 3 149 the network hash rate is ~412 kH/s (RandomX, CPU), difficulty 0.0104, target block time 120 s.
• Throughout the chain 17 unique miner‑finders have appeared, the largest pool found 61.2 % of all blocks.
• In the last 7 days the largest pool found 72.1 % of blocks, distinct finders = 10; the two biggest pools have almost identical hash rates (~299 kH/s and ~293 kH/s).
• In a short window of 47 blocks the largest pool controlled 51.1 % of blocks (the 50 % threshold for exchange listing applications).
• The pool address is not the final holder: of 548 addresses that received WAM, 540 are end‑recipients, the largest holding 25.8 % of all received funds.
• Client v0.1.9 released (optional update), which sets nMinimumChainWork on mainnet, protecting nodes from forged histories; older versions still accept the same blocks without the update.

Problems/complaints:

• High concentration of mining power in a single pool (over 50 % in short windows, 61.2 % overall) creates reorganization risk and conflicts with the project rule that a single finder >50 % disqualifies exchange listing applications.
• Need to attract additional hash rate from other miners to meet listing requirements and reduce centralization.
• No explicit scam accusations, but expressed concern about reward distribution and the influence of the large pool.

Overall tone: Neutral with elements of concern — the author presents factual data and stresses the need for greater decentralization, without direct accusations.

Main topic of new posts: Discussion of the pool fee change at pool.wamcoin.org from 0 % to 1 % and question about the software used for a private pool.

Key news/updates:

• The fee at pool.wamcoin.org has been raised from 0 % to 1 % to align with other existing WAM pools.
• Four pools are already operating in the network (pool.wamcoin.org, wam.ariabrain.com, stratum.cryptopickaxe.co.uk and a forthcoming fourth), considered an achievement for the project in its first month.
• No action is required from miners; everything continues to work as before.

Problems/complaints: No explicit complaints or problems; the fee increase is presented as a neutral business decision.

Overall tone: Neutral‑informative, with a slight positive note about pool infrastructure development.

2026-09-29 00:11 UTC — 2 new posts

Main topic of new posts:

Developer Waleed Al80 announced the availability of solo mining for WAM Coin and simultaneously published his own pool for the network, hosted in the project repository.

Key news/updates:

• Miner wam-miner version 0.1.10 released with --solo mode (mining directly against a personal node via getblocktemplate) and a --check mode for validating block correctness without hashing.
• Miner works on Linux, Windows and macOS; each build launches a regtest node and runs --check to confirm build correctness.
• Repository now includes a pool/ directory written in Node.js using Redis for share and balance storage, a PPLNS payout algorithm, and RPC interaction with wamd.
• Documentation docs/POOL_OPERATOR.md provides a step‑by‑step guide for pool operators; invitation to launch private pools and ask questions.

Problems/complaints: None reported.

Overall tone: Positive and inviting — emphasis on miner independence and expanding pool infrastructure.

Main topic of new posts: Release of WAM Coin version 0.1.11 fixing the solo miner and adding a graphical wallet, plus announcement of the coin’s listing on a decentralized exchange via an atomic swap on the Komodo/GLEEC registry.

Key news/updates:

• Solo miner fixed: it now retains each job until its base block disappears from the chain, logs unsent blocks and exits with an error instead of silently crashing; the fix was confirmed on mainnet (block 11385 accepted after 97 seconds).
• Graphical wallet wam‑qt added (Linux, Windows, macOS) – separate downloadable package, supports wallet creation/encryption, sending and receiving; available at https://wamcoin.org/downloads/v0.1.11/
• WAM Coin entered the Komodo/GLEEC coin registry (September 22 2026) and now trades via atomic swap; required_confirmations changed from 60 to ~15, reducing swap time from ~2 hours to ~10 minutes, with no listing fee.
• Deposit depth remains at 60 confirmations to allow a two‑hour window for deposits, though the swap‑cancellation window is now ~30 minutes.

Problems/complaints:

• Before the solo‑miner fix, roughly two‑thirds of found blocks were lost, resulting in zero revenue over nine hours despite the same hardware that earned several blocks on a pool.
• Reducing required confirmations for swaps lowers protection against potential chain‑rewriting attacks (vulnerability window shrank from two hours to about half an hour).

Overall tone: Positive/neutral – focus on fixing a critical bug, adding GUI functionality, and achieving a fee‑free DEX listing, while noting technical nuances that need attention.

• Main topic of new posts: Mining guide for WAM Coin — how to mine solo or via pools, with hash‑rate, reward, and resource links.
• Key news/updates:
• Solo mining reward per block is 47.5 WAM (full subsidy after the 5 % treasury deduction).
• Approximate block‑finding times at different hash rates: 3 kH/s → ~2 h, 6 kH/s → ~1 h, 12 kH/s → ~35 min.
• Three public pools each charge 1 % fee: pool.wamcoin.org:3333, wam.ariabrain.com:3333, stratum.cryptopickaxe.co.uk:6040 (all PPLNS).
• Solo mining requires a personal node with server=1 and a miner using the --solo flag (v0.1.11 or newer).
• Step‑by‑step guide: https://wamcoin.org/mine/ and live explorer: https://explorer.wamcoin.org
• Problems/complaints: None listed.
• Overall tone: Positive — the author provides useful information for miners, emphasizing simplicity and accessibility.

• Four public pools are operational (including official pool.wamcoin.org:3333 with 1 % fee), all responded to Stratum connections on the day of publication.
• Two community members (Alboy and chovy) each received 10 000 WAM for finding and describing bugs in the pool and consensus; fixes were merged and documented in SECURITY.md.
• Total treasury payouts amounted to 20 000 WAM.
• Problems/complaints: No complaints or critical remarks; only the lack of market price is mentioned as a fact, not a grievance.
• Overall tone: Positive/neutral – emphasis on network functionality, transparent payouts, and gratitude for community contributions.

Main topic of new posts:

Project author Waleed Al80 reports a series of bounty payouts for discovered bugs in the pool and miner, and releases version 0.1.12, which fixes address‑validation issues, false miner rejections, and the missing non‑executable stack in binaries.

Key news/updates:

• Payout of 1 000 WAM for fixing a pool accounting error (transaction 867bffa18cafda9a82349125a2c1e15828a095ffe584b44dfa63d90d722dab70, block 19 370, October 13 2026).
• Payout of 250 WAM for discovering an error in pool address verification (addressToScript in pool/lib/util.js) that incorrectly rejected valid base58 addresses (including the treasury address). The bug was fixed by initially decoding via base58check with checksum verification.
• Payout for a fourth bug (similar issue in miner code, fixed on September 19 in miner/src/address.h but not propagated to the pool for 26 days).
• Release WAM Coin v0.1.12:
• Miner no longer sends false rejections to good machines; node and miner now agree on address handling.
• Pool stopped rejecting roughly one valid address out of twenty.
• All binaries (wamd, miner, wam‑qt wallet) are built with a non‑executable stack, fixing the v0.1.11 issue where the RandomX assembler without stack annotation marked the entire stack as executable.
• Consensus rule discrepancy caused by an unfilled consensus field has been resolved; update is recommended for solo miners.
• All payout transaction IDs and full bug descriptions are in the repository (docs/TREASURY_LEDGER.md, SECURITY.md). Discussion continues on Discord.

Problems/complaints:

• Pools erroneously rejected valid base58 addresses due to a heuristic bech32 check, causing miner refusals and preventing pool operators from launching.
• Miner previously interpreted node responses as rejections, causing miners to shut down machines without a real issue.
• Absence of a non‑executable stack in early binaries could have posed a security risk when executing RandomX‑

• Main topic of new posts: Discussion of network centralization (one pool dominates) and a call for solo mining, plus correction of listing information.
• Key news/updates:
• WAM Coin is already listed and trading on the decentralized Komodo DEX (GLEEC) since September 22 2026, with a confirmed atomic swap on LTC.
• Solo mining is officially supported in the current release via the --solo flag, documented in miner/README.md and docs/MINE.md.
• Outdated explorer warning about blocklisting listings due to a single miner’s dominance has been removed; neutral statistics are now shown.

• Problems/complaints:
• One mining pool (finder) dominates the network, finding 65–75 % of blocks, creating a risk of listing rejections by exchanges due to excessive centralization.

• Overall tone: Neutral‑positive.
